Question: How can young kids feel beautiful when the media is targeting them with sex!?
It just blows my mind!. America's media has embedded the idea that in order to be accepted you need to literally and figuratively whore yourself!. Their targeted audience becomes younger and younger - I see thirteen year old girls asking how to drop twenty pounds or more!. Let me ask you something, adults here, at age thirteen were you asking how to reduce yourself to a sickening excuse for a person, just physically and morally a step up from a living corpse!?
Now I'm sure there are a few kids asking about losing weight for legitimate health reasons, that's fine, but it seems that young girls think it's ideal to starve themselves and doll themselves up to be sexually appealing (why else) - at thirteen!?!
It's not much different for young boys either; the media makes it seem like you have to be a gorgeous body builder to get noticed!. While albeit the media is much more destructive toward to fairer sex it's only slightly better on guys!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not only media makes our children feel inferior, but from a very young age, what toys are we playing with!?!? Barbie dolls and G!.I!. Joes, these dolls modeled after perfection within the body!. It's already planted in our young minds THAT'S what we should strive to look like and if we don't, society won't accept us!.
I'm no parent and I'm hardly an adult, and personally, I have a horrible self imagine!. Not only do I get discouraged by what I see on tv, but the females my age that I see around my college just absolutely doll themselves up like you would see in a club!. I assure you I'm not unattractive by any means, and I do have confedience to an extent, but how can I at all compare myself to what I see in media!? The trick is I simply cannot!. These women, for one, are altered so we DON'T see their flaws, and two, they have to pay professionals to make them into the sex symbols they are!. Girls need to know that the women in teh media are worked on for HOURS on set and again digitally altered to be perfection to the masses!.
Although media forces these images onto our youth, exercise and good diets in Amercia seem harder and harder to come by!. The portions at most restaurants are MUCH more than anyone should be eating in one sitting!. I feel a combination of media and our own habits are what leads the youth to feel horrible about themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with your position!.!.!. the media is brutal!. I don't know how the masses of young people can feel good about themselves, but I do know that you can help by discouraging your female friends from buying into it!. Don't feed into a comment like "I'm so fat" by responding with "No, you're not!." Respond with "You seem very healthy!. Healthy is beautiful!. What's wrong with that!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com
it's true!. my *10 year old niece* asked me how to lose weight a few months back! i remember when i was 10, i was still playing with legos! i will admit that i rarely watched TV though from ages 5-15!.!.!. i was too busy with school and gymnastics!. -_- but a 10 year old asking dieting advice to look like her favorite actress on TV is ridiculous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
First of all, the media is run by sponsors, no sponsors, no media!.
Second, the adds are supposed to make people feel insecure, people who feel ok with themselves don't need to go buy useless junk so they can look themselves in the mirror!.
Third, its not the media's fault, nor is it society's problem, the responsibility to put those messages in perspective lies on the parents, no one else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
